Try checking the cable is connected properly the hard drives and that you have your main drive jumper setting as master and the second drive jumper setting as slave

Try putting all drives in "cable select" jumper configuration. Also make sure that in the BIOS somewhere you haven't disabled reading from the IDE controller.
